Description

Box and its clamping mechanism

technical field

The invention relates to a box with a panel and a body, in particular to a clamping mechanism for fixing the panel of the box to the body.

Background technique

With the rapid development of science and technology, desktop computers have been widely used in our work and life. Usually, the front of the chassis of the desktop computer is provided with a panel for increasing its beauty, and the panel is usually fixedly connected to the chassis by buckles. At the same time, the panel is provided with a plurality of holes or slots, which are used for components such as the interface on the chassis, the power-on button, and the optical drive cover to pass through. However, when it is necessary to clean, inspect or replace this part of the structure on the chassis, it is necessary to remove the panel after the buckle is deformed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not conducive to the use of the user.

Detailed ways

Referring to FIG. 1 , the box body 100 includes a body 10 , a panel 20 rotatably connected to the body 10 , and a locking mechanism 30 connected between the body 10 and the panel 20 . In other embodiments, the body 10 and the panel 20 can be any two mechanical components that need to be fixedly connected.

Referring to FIGS. 2-3 , the body 10 includes two sleeves 11 on one side and a mounting hole 12 adjacent to the other side. The panel 20 includes a rotating shaft 21 rotatably matched with the two sleeves 11 and a protruding portion 22 protruding from the inner side of the main body 10 . A button hole 23 is defined on the outside of the panel 20 at a position opposite to the protruding portion 22 , and a sliding hole 24 is defined at the bottom of the button hole 23 .

Referring to FIG. 4 together, the locking mechanism 30 includes a housing 31 , an engaging member 32 , a locking mechanism 33 , a buckling member 34 , a button 35 and an elastic member 36 .

The casing 31 is fixedly disposed in the installation hole 12 of the main body 10 and defines a cavity 310 . In another embodiment, the cavity 310 can be the installation hole 12 of the body 10 , and the clamping mechanism 30 does not include the housing 31 and is directly installed in the installation hole 12 of the body 10 .

The engaging member 32 is slidably disposed in the cavity 310 and includes two elastic engaging portions 320 . When the engaging part 320 of the engaging part 32 slides into the cavity 310, the two engaging parts 320 can be elastically deformed and contracted; when the engaging part 320 of the engaging part 32 slides out of the cavity 310 , the two engaging portions 320 recover and deform to be in an expanded state.

The locking mechanism 33 is disposed in the cavity 310 of the casing 31 , and can lock and eject the engaging member 32 . The locking mechanism 33 at least includes a spring 330 and a positioning member 332 disposed between the housing 31 and the engaging member 32 . When the user pushes the engaging part 32 into the cavity 32 through the button 35 and stops pushing, the spring 330 is compressed by the engaging part 32, and at the same time, the positioning part 332 hooks the engaging part 32, thereby locking The locking part 32 is locked; when the user further pushes the engaging part 32 inward through the button 35 and stops pushing, the positioning part 332 releases the engaging part 32, and at the same time, the elastic part 33 returns and pushes the engaging part 32 out of the cavity 32. The locking mechanism 33 has a small backstroke before locking the engaging member 32, that is, after the engaging member 32 is pushed into the cavity 32 and released, the engaging member 32 will be pushed out of the cavity 310 for a short distance by the spring 330 After a certain distance, the positioning member 332 can hook the above-mentioned engaging member 32 . For details, please refer to China Patent Application No. 200910307681: when the battery is pressed into the battery compartment and released, the battery is pushed out of the battery compartment by the spring for a short distance and then hooked by its swing arm; when the battery is further pressed into the battery compartment and released , the swing arm releases the battery while the spring ejects the battery.

The locking member 34 includes a first end portion 340 and a second end portion 342 , wherein the first end portion 340 passes through the sliding hole 24 of the panel 20 , and the locking member 34 can slide along the sliding hole 24 . Both sides of the second end portion 342 are respectively provided with a locking portion 344 for matching with the locking portion 320 of the locking member 32 .

The button 35 is fixedly connected to the first end 340 of the buckle 34 , and is used to drive the buckle 34 to slide in the sliding hole 24 when pressed.

The elastic member 36 is disposed in the button hole 23 and between the button 35 and the bottom wall of the button hole 23 . In this embodiment, the elastic member 36 is a helical spring, which is sleeved on the buckle member 34 and has two ends against the button 35 and the bottom wall of the button hole 23 respectively.

Referring to FIG. 5 together, the panel 20 shown is in an open position. When the panel 20 needs to be closed, the panel 20 is rotated so that its buckle 34 pushes the buckle 32 into the cavity 310, and the buckle 320 Sliding into the cavity, it deforms elastically and becomes contracted at the same time, and then hooks the two buckle parts. At the same time, the locking mechanism 33 automatically locks the engaging part 32, and then locks the panel 20 on the body 10, which is the state shown in FIG. 1 .

When the button 35 in the state shown in FIG. 1 is pressed, the buckle 34 further pushes the engaging member 32 into the cavity 310 under the action of an external force, and the locking mechanism 33 releases the engaging member 32 and ejects it, The engaging portion 320 of the engaging member 32 slides out of the cavity 310 and deforms back into an open state, thereby releasing the engaging portion 344, so that the panel 20 of the box body 100 can be turned away relative to the main body 10, that is, The state shown in Figure 5.

In the present invention, since the elastic member 36 is used to connect the buckle 34 to the panel 20, when the panel 20 is pushed onto the body 10, the elastic member 36 can convert the return stroke of the locking mechanism 33 to the buckle The movement of the member 34 and the button 35 can avoid the gap between the panel 20 and the body 10 due to the above-mentioned backstroke.

While there has been illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the true scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention encompasses all embodiments within the scope of the appended claims.
